Juvie female, molted a week ago.
What, No heavy cell phone flash so people can drool over it's reflective blues? How dare you show it's natural color. ;)
 
Aaah! So that's what's up? I've sure drooled over the reflective blues myself and just figured that this one just needs more time. But now that you mention it... of course. I've been reading up on the phenomenon of blue theraposidae and it makes sense since these are not pigments but nanostructures that reflect light.
 
Yep, Shine a light on it, you'll see the difference. Any heavy lighting will make'em shine. They are a dull dark blue in room lighting until you hit'em with the flash light.
